Cursor won't show in text fields, Google Street View mouseup not working

My wife and I have nearly identical computers and update Firefox whenever a new version comes out. Lately, only on her computer, when she clicks into the address bar or into a text field, the cursor sometimes does not appear. In some other text fields it does appear. In the address bar, whenever you click in it and then type, there is no cursor, and the entire address bar is always overwritten. In Google Street View (I think it uses the Flash player), she can start dragging, but then the mouse "won't let go" - it is as if the mouse up command is ignored. I have to drag the mouse outside the picture area and then back in, or the dragging will continue.

Thanks for your fast response! I don't know what exactly caused it in my case, BUT I was able to confirm that clicking a Java applet caused the exact same symptom. And most of all, clicking the Windows Taskbar helps! That makes waiting for an official fix a lot easier :-)

Thanks so much!
